Trickovation® is structured around five key elements: Training, Relationship, Imagination, Creativity, and Knowledge.

Training

Trickovation® is built on technical training skills, often reserved for professionals. Trickovation® gives anyone the opportunity to learn these skills. Central to Trickovation® are micro-skills, which are small foundational techniques that empower both handler and dog to grasp essential training concepts.

Relationship

In Trickovation®, you’ll learn how to bring out the best in your dog while building a deeper bond based on trust and mutual understanding.

Imagination

If you can imagine it, you can train it! Trickovation® encourages you to think beyond basics, empowering you to set and achieve creative goals.

Creativity

With Trickovation®, you’ll take the concepts and micro-skills learned and transform them into your own unique tricks and skills. You and your dog shape the final results, adding a personal touch to each success.

Knowledge

Trickovation® is not training done for you. We’re equipping you with the knowledge and skills to understand your dog better. By seeing behavior through a similar lens as our trainers, you’ll gain insight into problem-solving and interpreting behavior throughout your dog’s life.

Innovation

Innovation is key at MJ’s Pet Training Academy. Every dog-handler pair is unique, and Trickovation® reflects that. We teach skills using methods that turn complex skills into quick, achievable steps. 

Trickovation® challenges dogs’ cognitive abilities and introduces problem-solving opportunities. This method grew from years of hands-on experience, and the results are inspiring. Together, you and your dog are capable of so much more than you might realize.
